Anesthesia for fish.

In fish, the most common purpose of anesthesia is to facilitate handling for physical examination and diagnostic sampling. Fish may also be transported to new locations more safely having been sedated. The author describes techniques of anesthesia in fish as well as the biologic characteristics of fish.

Prevalence of bronchial hyperresponsiveness in children: the relationship between asthma and skin reactivity to allergens in two communities.

A coastal population mainly reactive to house dust mite was compared with an inland population mainly reactive to other allergens to investigate whether exposure to house dust mite plays a part in initiating childhood asthma. Respiratory symptoms, asthma, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, hay fever and atopy were all more common in the dry inland area than in the humid coastal area. In both areas 38% of children were atopic. Coastal children had more skin reactivity to house dust mites and inland children were more reactive to grass pollen extracts. The findings suggest that the clinical presentation of asthma may be related more to the total burden of aeroallergens than to exposure to a particular allergen.

Blood groups of pygmy chimpanzees (Pan paniscus): human-type and simian-type.

Blood grouping of nine pygmy chimpanzees revealed them to be human-type group A1, M,Rho, and simian-type V.D, CCef, g, H, I, K, L. Only group Nc was polymorphic. Pan paniscus red cells can be easily distinguished from those of Pan troglodytes by the serological characteristics of human-type blood groups A and M. Also, the distribution of the simian-type blood group systems V-A-B and C-E-F are strikingly different in the two species.
